How many Gigabytes of songs worth does this support from an SD? My music angel stops on song 999, when I have 1,060 on and 8 GB SD.

I have a 16gb in mine and it works great. I do have it sorted and saved in different folders. That might help that issue, though I've never heard if your particular issue before. By the way, I have seen questions answered in a few different areas, though same product, that someone is using this little guy with a 32gb card, and someone else using a 64gb card. I hope this helps, and good luck to you!

I also have a 8 GB SD and well I have it set up on folders and it plays every track on it pretty well just make sure you seek the menu button if its on a different folder just put them together to get the rest of the tracks hope this helps tho

Hi Ted, Unfortunately this model doesn't comes with SD slot, it's something I still don't understand why. Though mine came with 1 year free Dropbox included. I got many apps and songs and still have 3gb memory free. Is up to you how much memory you need to use.

I put a MP3 file on my 32GB SDHC card, played fine. The next size up, 64GB, requires SDXC which is a different file format, haven't tested.

Let's say the average song in MP3 format is 4 MB (this varies based on the length and quality of the song), then No. of sings that can be stored on a 8GB device is 8,192/4 = 2,048 songs. 8,192 is the number of MB (megabytes) in 1GB (gigabyte). So, a 8GB device can hold about 2,000 songs. MP4 (video) files can be much larger.

I am currently using a 8gb. Sandisc chip. And thats just music. And that has been working fine.

I have the 2 GB one. It holds about 500 songs. It's very basic and that's what I wanted. At least it doesn't shut off like my Sansa did.

It comes with 4gb already installed and a micro sd slot on the side that allows you to add a micro sd card with as much as 32gb of space, expanding the capacity of the player for even more songs. 4gb is good for 800 songs-200 per gig. With 32 gb you can add even more music.

Not sure. When you go to play your music it just jumps from song to song to song real fast. I only last maybe 2-3 months and stopped working. It's 8 GB. The first one 4 GB still works, but the 2nd one 8 GB does not work at all.

Yes I have used a 64gb Sandisk with no problem. You just have to create a folder on the card first then drop the music in the folder.

I'm running a 64 GB in mine. It's a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10 card, formatted to FAT 32, and partitioned by taking off 300 MB only. I'd be glad to give specifics if requested (quite easy). Oh, I installed Rockbox, too--essential--makes it a whole new level of player. (Installing needs a 32 bit computer or simulation program for the Sansa, also simple.

Hmmm.... why only 60?My 40G player I got 3 years ago has 36G full. And my music is on a machine that does not run windows. But, of course, I'd "upgrade" to a Zune if I weren't such a fanboy. Instead I'm going to pay an exhorbinant $100 (40%) more, and get almost 3 (267%) times as much storage because that's the kind of stupid thing we fanboys do.Further proof of my fanboy lunacy is that I'm investing more dollars into a "closed" ecosystem when I could buy something that works on a multivendor platform like Plays For Sure.But hey, it makes me feel cool and pretty.

It depends on the length or amt of computer space it takes up, is my understanding. I have downloaded about 100 songs so far, and according to the device I have used about 10% of my available space.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

Haven't used the 64 GB. I do have a 32 GB. Cant switch through music folders. It goes by skipping through the flash drive

Storage size limited by current production technologies. I have tested running 16gb microSD modules on this device and it seems to work pretty well. However, if you are loading large songs (more than 1 hour), expect some lag when switching between songs.

You should be able to download music, images, or files on your phone regardless if you have a SD card or not. The question is; is the internal storage full and have you moved the files from internal storage to your SD card. 8gb is enough space for a cell phone and you should be able to hold a host of things but if you have large files or thousands of songs then you will not be able to download more. Try moving files from internal storage over to the SD and also check the card to see how much memory is stored on their.

Assuming you are using standard quality MP3, then a typical pop song is 3-4MB. I am not sure how much of the memory is taken up by the OS. Another person said 2.1GB (seems like a lot). That would leave 13.9GB to store music. 13,900/3.5 = 3,971 or about 4,000 songs. If you have high quality MP3 (i.e. lossless) or use a different file format or have a large number of long classical songs, then you may get fewer songs. However, as another person pointed out, you can listen for hours/days without repeating song with a few thousand songs. Unless you have an unusually large music collection and all must fit on this device or you plan to have video too, 16GB should be fine.
